Some identities for the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas functions (Q2765404)

Identities are given for generalized Fibonacci and Lucas functions defined by \(U(x)= \frac{\alpha^x- e^{i\pi x} \beta^x} {\alpha-\beta}\) and \(V(x)= \alpha^x+ e^{i\pi x} \beta^x\) where \(\alpha= (p+\sqrt{\Delta})/2\), \(\beta= (p-\sqrt{\Delta})/2\), \(\Delta= p^2-4q\), \(p\) and \(q\) are integers with \(q>0\) and \(x\) is an arbitrary real number.
